LNDFK (aka Linda Feki) presents her ground-breaking debut album, “Kuni” on Brooklyn-based Bastard Jazz Recordings. Undeniably on the rise after her 2019 breakout performance at Primavera Sound, LNDFK has already caught the attention of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Clash Magazine, Noisey, and Brooklyn Vegan (among many others) while being championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, and Jamz Supernova & landing spots on tastemaker playlists like Spotify’s “Pollen” and “Fresh Finds.” 

“Kuni” is a spellbinding exploration of dichotomies: Love & Death (Eros & Thanatos), Flower & Fire, Delicacy & Violence, Poetry & Realism, Purification & Destruction. These opposites are reified in the 10-track LPs multifarious and multifaceted sounds, elegantly meandering through a variety of styles and genres, spearheaded by Linda and features the production wizardry of Darrio Bassolino who co-wrote the album.

POSY (aka Rudy Klobas) returns to Bastard Jazz after his breakthrough debut EP, “Abroad,” released last year with a brand new single, “Fill My Cup.” This time the Portland-based producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has teamed up with Brandon Markell Holmes, the actor-turned-vocalist known for his contribution on the Grammy-nominated Gorillaz album, “Humanz,” work with friends-of-the-label musclecars, and his own alternative R&B-meets-deep house sound (heard, for example, on 2021’s “Garden” EP with Rogue Vogue, released on toucan sounds). A signature POSY laid back instrumental forms the perfect backdrop for Brandon’s airy falsetto: Syncopated, jazzy keys, a grooving bassline, and slightly swung drums, all played, recorded, and produced by POSY himself.  

POSY is the recording name of Rudy Klobas, Portland-based producer and multi-instrumentalist with a unique sound that intersects jazz, R&B, and electronic music. Originally trained on classical guitar, POSY gradually taught himself piano, bass, and drums and began writing and recording his first songs on a four-track cassette recorder. POSY’s music is lush and densely layered, but maintains an element of simplicity that ultimately leaves one feeling relaxed, nostalgic, and hopeful all at the same time.

Dark, evocative beats engulfed by bold raw vocals: this is TOTEK, the genre-defying electronic project of Allysha Joy and Max Dowling.
In their own right, Allysha and Max both lay claim to an extensive musical prowess: the former as a member of the internationally-acclaimed nu-soul outfit 30/70 and her equally revered solo project, the latter as a prolific producer, performer and collaborator (Client Liaison, NO ZU, Parvyn and countless others).

Born out of burn out and edging frustration for the pace and complication of life at times, this collaboration came together almost immediately. TOTEK found itself in the dark edges, wanting to punch a little harder and move through it all quickly, boldly, unafraid in relief. The chemistry held between Max and Allysha found songs written in mere moments that expressed something new that neither artist had been able to access alone.

On face value, the six tracks on ttk.1 could feel musically divergent: representing different idioms, different tempos and different themes. Yet they are unified on a more holistic level through their energy, ethos and character. TOTEK prefers to view music in this way: what is the overall experience of a record? Pushing boundaries and eschewing conventions has been organically at the heart of TOTEK from the beginning. The process of crafting a record was no different: The artists intended to create a work that is characterful and unpredictable yet unified by a throughline of potency and intensity.

TOTEK represents a masterful coming-together of influences: a blend of multiple electronic idioms with a unique soul sensibility; channelled through two creatively potent individuals. While their music conjures shades of Dorian Concept, Jana Rush and Flying Lotus, ultimately their sound is eclectic, elusive and unique.

A highlight from Reginald Chapman 'Accretion' (FSX-057) – out now everywhere: fsx.lnk.to/accretion

'Accretion’ is a double-album exploration in carving out a refreshing new territory in modern Jazz – one that strikes a balance between hard funk grooves and complex music theory, complicated arrangements and heavily headnoddable beats – all tied together with universally engaging melodies and textured with a “refined grit” palette to forge a sound that is uniquely Chapman’s own.

The album serves as an exciting manifesto for a step forward into the future of traditional brass music, and it’s one that we’re honored to help bring to the world.

Reginald Chapman "Soft Shell Crabs"

Cheat Day began with a beat made during a one-a-day challenge, and from the first arpeggio, it felt like a countdown to something sweet. RINZ. imagined the joy and slight mischief of giving in to your cravings, and Louk’s flute melodies added just the right touch of playful indulgence. The track grooves like a warm afternoon spent eating pastries you told yourself you wouldn’t.

Lush 80s-inspired synth chords and buttery flute lines swirl into a sound that feels both soulful and cheeky. The whole thing rides a mellow funk vibe, perfect for loosening up and letting go.

Step inside the warehouse of echoes and shadows—where dust, vinyl crackle, and heavy sub-bass breathe like living machinery. Slow Heart Warehouse is a journey through haunted corridors and dreamscapes, where lo-fi chillhop collides with the weight of dark dubstep. Each track drifts like smoke through broken glass, layering trap 808s, syncopated kicks, and turntable sorcery with ghostly atmospheres, minor-key pianos, and icy pads.

From the spectral pulse of “Vinyl Seance” to the crushing descent of “Bass Under the Bed,” the setlist moves like a séance of sound—moody, eerie, cinematic. Ghost chimes ring through the “Blue Chime Corridor,” ash falls in “Pillow of Ash,” and the closing track “Sleep Demon Turntable” spirals into a final scratch, dissolving into the void.

This album is a midnight drive through a city of fog, an abandoned club in orbit, a hymn to shadows—where every beat feels alive, and every silence is haunted.
